Kirlian Electrofotogrammen - Robin Noorda
Around 1986, while doing his research for the plant project, Robin Noorda became fascinated by the Kirlian electro photogram technique. Some call it aura photography, but actually the photosensitive material is exposed to tiny electrical discharges. Devotees of esoteric matters claim the red glow signifies emotion. There are, in any case, certain areas where the small streams, for some unknown reason, choose the path of the red-sensitive film emulsion. In the oldest work, the triptych of fingerprints and begonia leaves on a roll film, the rare 'phantom leaf' effect can be seen. The tip of the last leaf had been cut off (at film edge number 1), but its faint echo remains visible.
